£150 reference checks £350 for a contract to be drawn (WHAT?!! Has Rembrandt been brought back from the dead to be commissioned?) This is on top of the bond and rent in advance. THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL! This is a link to a full list of all the fees! (Which is actually worse than what I was advised via a telephone conversation). How they justify the astronomical range of fees is astonishing! You get billed for daring to move in!!! http://www.frankinnes.co.uk/media/432266/2016-tenants-fees.pdf

I for one will never use this company and urge others to follow suit, until they see sense and admit to themselves, that they are a bunch of money grabbing charlatans. I have miraculously refrained from using any profanities!
